Faith Inkubators

This looks interesting, though I haven't got time to look it over. About FINK: "About Faith Inkubators "

As a pastor, Rich anguished over new parents showing up at church to get their babies “done” (i.e. baptized) – never to return. He had suffered through a decade plus of teaching confirmation to disinterested youth who turned up at thirteen to get “done” again and promptly disappeared. (A “charade followed by a parade” he called it.) ...

Faith couldn’t be taught in a lecture. Facts could, but facts were only a subset of faith development. Faith needed to be nurtured – incubated – in a complete system.
